Juliana Pasquarosa Quietly Responds to Criticism as She and Grant Ellis End Engagement
A Subtle Message Amidst the Breakup
Juliana Pasquarosa, best known as the winner of season 29 of The Bachelor, recently addressed her critics with subtle grace following her split from fiancé Grant Ellis. Just days after the couple confirmed the end of their engagement, Juliana took to TikTok, sharing a lip-sync video set to the Black Eyed Peas’ “Where Is The Love?” while seated in her car. Her choice of lyrics—“Yo people living like they ain’t got no mommas…I think they all distracted by the drama and attracted to the trauma, mamma”—served as a pointed commentary on the negativity swirling around her life post-breakup. She captioned the video, “I’ll just leave this one here,” suggesting she’s staying above the drama and moving forward.
Fans were quick to voice their support in the video’s comments, with one declaring Juliana an “Unbothered diva.” Juliana simply replied, “Always unbothered,” affirming her resilient attitude amid public scrutiny. The TikTok post has since sparked widespread conversation among Bachelor Nation observers, with many praising her composed response to criticism.
Love Story Comes to a Quiet End
This understated social media message came on the heels of the official announcement that Juliana, 28, and Grant Ellis, 31, had ended their relationship. The breakup was confirmed just three months after The Bachelor finale aired, where viewers saw Grant propose to Juliana in an emotional on-screen moment after sending home runner-up Litia Garr. Both Juliana and Grant communicated their split on their personal Instagram stories, making clear there was no ill will or resentment involved.
Grant Ellis wrote, “Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship. We both gave this our best and poured a lot of love into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations, we’ve come to the understanding that we’re simply not the right fit long term…No negativity here. No resentment. Just two people who care about each other and want the best for one another moving forward.” You can see examples of this sentiment echoed on Instagram, where news of their breakup has been widely discussed.
Juliana echoed these thoughts on her own social channels, saying, “We’re still cheering each other on, just from different places now.” The willingness to support each other even after going their separate ways is consistent with the respectful tone both maintained throughout their public statements. This narrative was also recapped thoroughly on entertainment sites like Entertainment Weekly and TMZ, both noting the amicable nature of their parting.
Amid the Noise: Fellow Contestant Reactions
As with many Bachelor breakups, outside commentary wasn’t far behind. Carolina Quixano, a fellow season 29 contestant, critiqued Juliana’s relationship with Grant, insinuating in a TikTok post that Juliana was more interested in “winning The Bachelor” than genuinely connecting with Grant. Carolina’s remarks, though not mentioning Juliana by name, were widely interpreted as shade towards the newly single winner.
In a statement to Us Weekly, Juliana addressed Carolina’s comments directly but chose to disengage from any back-and-forth. “Carolina’s comments aren’t surprising. This feels like an attempt to turn our breakup into engagement. That’s her choice. As for me, I’m not interested in going back and forth. Eye for an eye isn’t my vibe.” She clarified her focus is on “healing, staying close to my support system and keeping it all about nice girl energy — always.”
Moving Forward With Respect and Kindness
Despite the public split and the ensuing commentary, both Juliana and Grant have emphasized that their journey was meaningful and real, both on TV and afterward. Juliana has asked for kindness from all as she moves on, reminding everyone, “It’s a gift to find someone who sees the world in a way that resonates with you, while also encouraging you to grow. While this isn’t the ending we once imagined, it’s one filled with mutual respect, care and hope for what’s ahead.”
Their respectful approach has garnered support from both fans and fellow alumni within Bachelor Nation. The fracture of their engagement stands in stark contrast to some of the more contentious splits seen in the franchise, and Juliana’s composed response underscores her commitment to moving forward positively.
